The amazing transformation from male singer to bearded diva has turned Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst into a global superstar.
“大胡子美女”肯奇塔·沃斯特奪得了歐洲歌唱大賽冠軍，這位由男歌手變性的“大胡子美女”一舉成為全球超級明星。
An audience of around 170million people across the world watched the Austrian triumph when she was awarded a staggering 290 points for her performance of Rise Like a Phoenix in Copenhagen on Saturday night.
奧地利歌手肯奇塔·沃斯特在周六晚上的比賽中演唱了一曲《Rise Like a Phoenix in Copenhagen》，全世界約1.7億觀眾見證了她獲得高達290的得分。
Spoting a full beard and gold embellished fishtail gown, she took to the stage in front of a smokey backdrop, before giving a powerful performance of the song.
沃斯特蓄著絡腮胡須，身穿魚尾禮服，走上煙霧繚繞的舞臺，深情演唱了這首歌。
And with the performance earning her a legion of new fans, experts are predicting she could stand to earn as much as £25million, becoming the biggest Eurovision winner since Abba, who triumphed in the 1974 competition.
演唱后沃斯特的粉絲量大漲，有專家預測她接下來將會吸金2500萬英鎊（約人民幣），這會使她成為1974年阿巴樂隊奪冠以來最大的歐歌賽贏家。
But before transforming into alter-ego Conchita Wurst, the 25-year-old whose real name is Thomas Neuwirth, tried to find fame in a boyband called Jetzt Anders.
但在成為極具個性的“大胡子美女”之前，這位25歲的歌手原名叫做托馬斯·萊維斯，他曾在Jetzt Anders樂隊中試圖揚名歌壇。
Early pictures show Thomas clean shaven, without the beard that brought Conchita Wurst to worldwide attention.
從早期的照片可以看出，托馬斯下巴干凈、沒有胡須，這與肯奇塔·沃斯特的吸睛殺手锏“大胡子美女”形成強烈反差。
In 2011, Thomas transformed as Conchita Wurst complete with long hair, fluttering eyelashes and the now world-famous beard.
托馬斯在2011年變性成為現在的肯奇塔·沃斯特，留著長發、忽閃迷人的睫毛、以及現已聞名世界的大胡子。
Conchita was then selected to represent Austria in this year’s Eurovision contest with her eventual victory sending Twitter into a frenzy, generating 5,384,678 tweets.
肯奇塔隨后被推選代表奧地利參加今年的歐洲歌唱大賽，最終她贏得了冠軍，其報喜推特瘋傳網絡、轉載量達5384678條之多。
Accepting the trophy, she said: ‘This is dedicated to everyone who believes in a future of peace and freedom. We are unity.’
在頒獎儀式上，她說：“把這個獎杯的喜悅奉獻給所有相信和平自由的人，我們團結一致！”
